The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 149
"Holden Group was the one who engaged with us. Their president, Mister Jeremy that you know, liked our office building design. He was the one who requested the architect of this building to design Holden Group's new office building. We all know who the architect is, right? Moon?"Corinne's eyebrows furrowed. Moon was the name she used during work.Not even hesitating, she rejected this knowing it was a project related to Jeremy. "Nope! Not going to accept it.""Boss, Holden Group has offered a lot of money for the project!" Aaron used his fingers to show the numbers 'one' and 'five'.'A hundred and fifty million dollars?!' Corinne nearly choked on her coffee. 'Mister is a big spender!'Newmoon Group was established just recently about three years ago and was in the expanding phase. Although their market value kept on increasing, their cash flow was limited.'A hundred and fifty million...' It was a figure Corinne had a hard time rejecting.Aaron and Xante exchanged looks with ea

Corinne panicked and jumped off the chair. "Aaron, go out and stall him. I'll find a chance to sneak out. Don't let him know I'm here!""Right away!" Aaron quickly put away his foolish smile and walked out to handle it.Corinne followed him to the door and peeked out to monitor the situation through the small gap.There, she saw Jeremy getting out of the lift and Tommy following him.Aaron approached them with a professional smile. "Welcome, Mister Jeremy."Jeremy nodded faintly. "Thank you."Aaron professionally turned his body sideways to lead the way. "Miss Xante mentioned to me you're interested in our building's design. Shall I bring you for a tour to look at the interior design?"Jeremy raised his hand and rejected politely, "That's not necessary. I went to a few floors before coming up here and have understood it. I wish to meet with Miss Xante and the architect, Moon.""I'm sorry, but Miss Xante is in the middle of a meeting," apologized Aaron. "It's going to take a whi

"Moon has her reasons for that, and I am in no position to divulge anything," said Xante.Jeremy chuckled coldly. "Seems to me that Newmoon Group isn't sincere in accepting Holden Group's project. No pressure, then."As he said that, he placed down the coffee cup and stood up immediately after.Meanwhile, Corinne could hear the entire conversation from inside the lounge. Jeremy sounded incredibly dissatisfied, and she knew that his patience was always limited.If he left, then they would stand to lose the 150-million-dollar project!As Corinne was frantically finding a way to handle it, she saw a pile of equipment in the corner of the lounge. Aaron was the one who had bought them, and there seemed to be something like a gas mask in the pile."Mister Jeremy, please wait!"Jeremy, who had walked to the door of the office, stopped when he heard the voice and slowly turned around to look over. His charming eyes narrowed when he saw who it was.Xante turned her head to look in the d

The smile on Sherlyn's face froze when Jeremy did not even react to her enthusiastic explanation. His expression was stern and indifferent, which came off as intimidating.Sherlyn did not try to force a conversation with him, so she eased some of her embarrassment by turning to ask Xante. "Where is my assistant, Miss Xante? I need her to carry something for me!"Xante seemed to have a bad feeling about how the situation was developing, but she adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses calmly and said lightly, "Your assistant has just left, Miss Sherlyn."Sherlyn frowned in dissatisfaction. "She left?! Where the hell did she go? How dare she run off without even waiting for me to come back!"Xante smiled politely and said indifferently, "I'm not privy to that, I'm afraid."Sherlyn was already pissed that Corinne was requested to speak in a private discussion, and that anger only escalated when Corinne just left without saying a word. She immediately took out her cell phone and called Corinn

Aaron was a handsome man, while Corinne was a beautiful woman, and they made for a rather attractive pair.A look of gloom and envy flashed across Sherlyn's eyes when she saw Corinne walking side-by-side with Aaron, Newmoon Group's vice president. She was forced to be friendly to Corinne in front of three big shots, but she still asked in a rather insinuative tone, "Where did you run off to, Corinne?"Corinne came over and replied earnestly, "I went to look for the restroom but couldn't find it. I bumped into Mister Aaron here and asked him to lead me there."Sherlyn glared gloomily at Corinne, then turned to Aaron before saying politely, "Mister Aaron, I'm really sorry that my assistant caused you trouble."Aaron curled his lips into a smile. "It was no trouble at all. I just happened to be on my way to the restroom too, so I might as well help her out."Sherlyn smiled dryly, and she was quite displeased that Corinne was able to run into Aaron all by herself.Corinne asked obedi

Aaron sighed helplessly and said, "She crawled out of the office window and came in through the restroom window. It's that simple."Xante frowned even more. "But this is the thirtieth floor!"Aaron shrugged and said, "My rock-climbing gear is still in the lounge, and it just so happened to come in handy. It's not difficult for her at all, considering the kind of skills she has."Xante took off her gold-rimmed glasses and massaged her eyebrows. "And who's that in the office?""Your secretary. The boss told her to put on the mask, change into her clothes, and just sit there to act like she's busy.""... How very smart!"Aaron narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Why do you think the boss is so averse to Jeremy discovering that she's Moon?"Xante glanced at him and reminded, "She has her reasons. It's not our place to make any guesses."Aaron stroked his chin and thought for a while. "I can hardly believe that Jeremy isn't attracted to her at all. I'm going to test him!"Xante had a

Jeremy narrowed his handsome eyes at Corinne and had a subtle smirk on the corners of his lips....The elevator doors opened, and Jeremy strode out with his hands in his trouser pockets. Tommy followed closely behind.Sherlyn dragged Corinne out and chased after them for fear that Jeremy would leave and forget that they were supposed to have lunch."Miss Carew! Please wait!" After hearing someone calling her all of a sudden, Sherlyn stopped and turned her head to see that Aaron—vice president of Newmoon Group—had rushed out of the elevator on the other side and looked at her with a smile on her face.Sherlyn turned around confidently and asked with a smile, "Mister Aaron! Why did you take the effort to come all the way down and look for me? Is it about the ambassadorship? Is there anything else you need to explain?"Aaron glanced at her only briefly and looked directly over her at Corinne. "I'm not here for you. I was looking for that Miss Carew."The expression on Sherlyn's fa

"Anything's fine." Jeremy's cold tone suggested a clear disinterest in having lunch, though he did not refuse outright.Sherlyn did not think much of the man's cold attitude and was so beside herself with excitement that she was able to have lunch with a man of Jeremy's status."Let's go to The Wild Bites. They serve some really good food there!"The Wild Bites was one of the best high-end restaurants in the city, and the price was very expensive too. Sherlyn would never be willing to have a meal there if she was not treating a big shot like Jeremy to a meal.Jeremy acknowledged her decision expressionlessly and turned to walk toward the lobby entrance.As Sherlyn followed Jeremy, she turned around and called out angrily to Corinne, "Hurry up! Don't waste any more time! Do you expect Mister Jeremy to wait for you?"Corinne frowned helplessly and hastened her footsteps to follow up. Since Aaron had picked them up when they came and Corinne did not drive over, it was logical for th

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2934
Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2933
Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2931
"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
